Rhett Butler's People is the astonishing and long-awaited novel that parallels the Great American Novel, Gone With The Wind. Fully authorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate, this work marks a major cultural event.

Through the storytelling mastery of award-winning writer Donald McCaig, the life and times of the dashing Rhett Butler unfold. Through Rhett’s eyes, we meet the people who shaped his larger-than-life personality as it sprang from Margaret Mitchell’s unforgettable pages. There's Langston Butler, Rhett’s unyielding father; Rosemary, his steadfast sister; Tunis Bonneau, Rhett’s best friend and a former slave; and Belle Watling, the woman for whom Rhett cared long before he met Scarlett O’Hara at Twelve Oaks Plantation, on the fateful eve of the Civil War.

Of course, there is Scarlett. Katie Scarlett O’Hara, the headstrong, passionate woman whose life is inextricably entwined with Rhett’s: more like him than she cares to admit; more in love with him than she’ll ever know.

Brought to vivid and authentic life by the hand of a master, Rhett Butler’s People fulfills the dreams of those whose imaginations have been indelibly marked by Gone With The Wind.
